This world premiere marks the final chapter of ‘A Trilogy—Quest of Relationships,’ following “Beings,” an award-winning work at Yokohama Dance Collection 2021-DEC, and “Islands” (2024), developed through research at Kinosaki International Arts Center. “Beings” is a male-female duet inspired by the Chinese character for “person” (人), which symbolizes mutual support. “Islands,” a duet with Indonesian dancer Danang Pamungkas, explores the cultural layers deep within the self through intercultural dialogue. Now, “Remains” takes the form of a solo performed by Wang himself, emerging from the questions he poses to himself and the world. His body becomes the very material of his exploration as he falls, stands, and sways between balance and imbalance, searching for what remains. For this final chapter, the costume design is by the engineering team led by Miyamae Yoshiyuki, designer at A-POC ABLE ISSEY MIYAKE, expanding the world of the work into a new form of stage expression.
